Turning Moment (Or Crank Effort)

Diagram (TMD)
Turning moment diagram is a graphical

representation of turning moment or
torque (along Y-axis) versus crank angle
(X-axis) for various positions of crank.
Uses of TMD
1. The area under the TMD gives the
work done per cycle.
2. The work done per cycle when divided
by the crank angle per cycle gives the
mean torque Tm.
Uses of TMD
3. The mean torque Tm multiplied by the
angular velocity of the crank gives the
power consumed by the machine or
developed by an engine.
4. The area of the TMD above the mean
torque line represents the excess energy
that may be stored by the flywheel,
which helps to design the dimensions &
mass of the flywheel.
FLYWHEEL
Flywheel is a device used to store
energy when available in excess &
release the same when there is a
shortage.
Flywheels are used in IC engines, Pumps,
Compressors & in machines performing
intermittent
operations
such
as
punching, shearing, riveting, etc.
A Flywheel may be of Disk type or Rim
Type
Flywheels help in smoothening out the

Section X-X
Comparision between Disk Type & Rim Type Flywheel :

Flywheels posess inertia due to its heavy mass.
Mass moment of inertia of a flywheel is given by
I = mk 2 , where m=Mass of the flywheel.
k=Radius of gyration of the flywheel.
D
For rim type, k= where D=Mean diameter of the flyheel

D
For Disk type, k=
where D=Outer diameter of the flywheel

Hence I=m Rim
and I=m Disk

Hence for a given diameter & inertia, the mass of the
rim type flywheel is half the mass of a disk type flywheel

If d is the diameter of the hole to be
punched in a metal plate of thickness t , the
shearing area
A= d t mm2
If the energy or work done /sheared area is
given, the work done per hole =W.D/mm 2 x
Sheared area per hole.
As one hole is punched in every revolution,
WD/min=WD/hole x No of holes punched /min
Power of motor required P=WD per min/60

e =Energy required per hole ( 1- x)
where x = fraction of crank rotation during
which actual punching operation take place.

Problem 11
A punching machine carries out 6 holes
per min. Each hole of 40 mm
diameter in 35 mm thick plate
requires 8 N-m of energy/mm2 of the
sheared area. The punch has a stroke
of 95 mm. Find the power of the motor
required if the mean speed of the
flywheel is 20 m/sec.
If the total fluctuation of speed is not to
exceed 3% of the mean speed,
determine the mass of the flywheel.
Data :
Mean speed of flywheel v=20m/sec
Cs 3% 0.03, Diameter of hole d=40 mm
Thickness of plate t=35 mm, Energy/mm 2 =8 N-m

Time required to punch one hole= 10 secs
Solution :
